the only thing he can argue is that obama has not been a good steward of the economy, but as we know, obama has a very good answer to that. and that's on offense. then you think about what he has to do on defense. he's going to be on the defense on the 47%. he's going to be on defense on his tax question. i mean, this is a guy who doesn't have very much to work with at this point. so it's hard for me to see, even if he doesn't make a major gaffe, which he does on a weekly basis, even if he doesn't, what ammunition does he have to actually have a good showing? >> i'm told there are examples of elections turning on debates, president bush for example started gaining on al gore when they faced off in 2000. is it usually the case that debates are quite the kind of game-changer that everybody thinks this one has to be for romney to do anything successfully in november? >> no, it's not. the historical data shows that i think we sort of exaggerate the role of debates. i would tip my hat to the washington monthly that has a nice article that goes through some of the political science and poll

economy is growing at a slower pace than previously thought. let's get to the market rundown. becky, what are the markets going to see in they have known the economy is growing slowly. >> they have. it looks like we'll open higher today by quite a bit. looks like the dow futures up by 75 points at this moment. we were already looking at positive numbers even before we got the data that came out. part of that is bounceback because s&p is down for five days in a row so people are looking at this as let's slow down for a moment and reassess. we got numbers out at 8:30. it was a mixed picture. jobless claims is the most important. that's what the market is focusing on. that number did come in better than expected. 359,000. consensus estimate was 375,000. it's below 385 we saw last week. people said this is good news. you see a drop in firing. not a surge in hiring but firing is slowing down and we'll take whatever we can get on the jobs picture. when it came to durable goods though, this was a big shocker. durable goods down 13.2%. that was a huge miss because they were only looki

as somebody who projects an air of authority, especially when he talks about the economy. that is the private sector track record. the flip side, the weakness is the 47%. some of the attacks he's taken in terms of that business record. i think mitt romney's biggest problem though, chris, is the sense people can't be sure exactly if he believes what he's saying. he needs to project authentic passion for what he believes his plan would do for the american economy to make the 47% lives better as well as the other 53. >> what do you think, e.j.? >> i thought the definitive line on politics, what you need is sincerity, if you can fake that, you can do anything. it's troublesome on this question of authenticate. what is authenticity? romney has taken a number of positions on issues which you will be sure obama will try to sneak in there somehow. he can be ferocious and disciplined. go back to that newt gingrich debate in florida where he dispatched newt gingrich. he can be very good. i think he can have real highs, but also can have lows and say the darnedest things sometimes. >

look, we're in an economic economy. growth in the world economy is down to 2.5% this year. you know, it should be 4%, 5%. there's no inflation problem that's preventing growth moving forward. cooperation in trade, trading arrangements and america in particular should be looking to sell to the rest of the world. you've got the best technology in the world. you should be doing even better. >> okay, then. >> prime minister, shifting to national and international security, what is your sense of what afghanistan is going to look like in early 2015? after the american withdrawal. and can you talk a little bit in that context about where pakistan is and where it's going. >> well, the danger in afghanistan, as we've always worried about, is afghanistan is really partly run by the taliban and partly run by a karzai-type government. and you end up having to cede space to taliban-type forces or come to some compromise with them that means that you go backwards rather than forwards. pakistan, i think, is the epicenter of everything that's really wrong and what's going to be dealt with.
